1: Spitfire!!!

When I wrote the song Spitfire, it was something that was just put together over one day, from reading about the Battle of Britain and the aircraft that fought in WW2. What I had in mind was a song that sounded cool, fast and short. Lyrically, its about a young boy in WW2 witnessing what was going on around him. Spitfires shooting down ME109’s. Lancaster bombers taking off fully loaded with bombs and coming back home shot to bits.  Hearing the thundering roar of the Merlin engines from the Spitfires searching for the Luftwaffe.  500 pound bombs being dropped from HE11 bombers and dog fights in the sky. The song is my tribute to those who fought in the air during the Battle of Britain.

2: Psycho Girl

The crazed stalker I couldn't get away from......the psycho girl.  I think every guy has had that experience once in their lives.  That one girl who would call every night and would follow you home.  This song is a true story that happened to me a good few years ago.  A girl, who was my friend, turned out to be a bit psycho. She knew everything about me and where i lived.  (It didn't help that we went to the same school.)  It got to the point when she began asking me out and started knocking on my door at night to see what I was up to.  She would call, text, email and Facebook message me almost every day, apart from the days when she would be shop lifting in Primark and signing on the dole, but in her free time she would be stalking me, cause she's a PSYCHO GIRL!!!

3: Head in the Toilet

*cough* *cough* *blurrargh* the sounds of someone throwing up in a toilet after drinking too much on a night out.  Yea, we have all been there.  We all have had our head in a toilet at some point and more than once.  This is how I wrote the song.  Too much whiskey and coke and bam!  I'm throwing up in the toilet and the song title comes in to my head!  Lyrically, its a song about a person’s outlook on life being grim.  Feeling washed up and useless.  They slowly become insane and paranoid.

4: She's a Punk


This is the very first song I wrote for the band.  It was written around a guitar riff I made up which is at the start of the song.  The lyrics and guitar were written over a few days.  I made a few early demo's before it became what it is now.  Originally it was 5-6 mins long, but with a faster tempo we got it down to 3-4 mins.  The song is a love song.  Guy meets girl and falls in love, but it’s girl meets guy, opposites can happen.
